Animal Crossing amiibo Cards & Switch System Returning To Retail
No doubt due in part to the gigantic success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nintendo is bringing back some hard to find items. First up are the Animal Crossing amiibo cards that were initially sold alongside Happy Home Designer on 3DS. Series 1-4 cards are returning to select retailers for $5.99 a pack. You can use these to summon characters to your island. You should see these pop up in November.

Also coming back is the Animal Crossing: New Horizons special edition Nintendo Switch console. This one could continue to be a bit more difficult to find and Nintendo is very light on the details. They don’t give a timeframe and recommend you check in with your local retailers for more information. Yeah, like they know anything either! Good luck with this one.
